is mitt romney right or wrong? >> i can see the argument in 2008 when the government was blind-sided by all the problems that happen and all these companies were in trouble, lehman brothers and citigroup and goldman sachs and bear stearns, i can almost see the rationale of saving these companies temporarily. not only did they not go in and fire all the people responsible for this fraud, they continued to support the company for years after it was back on their feet. that's the most inexcusable part. they kept supporting it with billions and billions of dollars of low interest loans after that and that's the real problem. >> so basically, there were no strings attached, and you know i think a lot of people look at that and from a simplistic point of view. they are all outstanding citizens making these contracts because they're geniuses. tell the people watching at home why you think bank of america among the others actually does fraud, things that are criminal and is not normal business that they should be rewarded
